So Shelly
My first novel, So Shelly, is a re-imagining of the lives and friendships of the three great second generation Romantic – Byron, Shelley, and Keats – reset in the modern world as young adults. It earned several nominations for awards in the YA category and was translated into both Spanish and Portuguese
